TABLETOPS, 1997

The makers and sources of the objects in Folk Art: 5 Collections are only known to us by myths and legends, but they have been embellished by each new owner, and the very material of each piece bears the warmth of the creator’s hand. They were generously loaned to the Felecita Foundation from October 1988 - January 1989 for this exhibition.
